Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: 3 Guys, educational wines (@home): Glass: Zalto Universal Popped and poured, tasted blind on day one, drunk over two days. Clear, medium amber color. Clean, medium+ intense, fully developed nose of ripe exotic fruit, some smokiness, black currant, herbs. Classic Ruwer. Needs a few hours to fully blossom. Racy acidity handles the sweetness perfectly. 7,5% abv. Lots of garden herbs, tangerine, crushed stones, multi-layered. Long and lingering finish. Great tension and finesse, precision and focus. Drink now, it will not get any better. 93

“Ten Years After” 2008 Dry Riesling Tasting (mostly Germany) (Private Location): I thought we can’t finish this tasting without a off-dry wine so I pulled this Karthäuserhof out of my cellar. 93 is definitely one of the better vintages out of the 90s for off-dry Riesling imo and this Cask Auslese wasn’t an exception. Typical Ruwer with lot of herbs, citrus, tangerine and a bit of peach notes. Definitely remind me of Grünhaus. Playful acidity which buffers the sugar in a good way but some more years will definitely help here. A lovely wine.
